Maximise Outdoor Space with Your Own Alfresco Dining Area

January 13, 2017

Outdoor spaces on your property no longer need to be all about the lawn and gardens. We state this since an alfresco dining area is the ideal way to expand your house beyond your four walls and into your yard. You can select from numerous possibilities ranging from matching your home decor with the outdoor furnishings to creating a unique statement with your own outdoor dining space. Below, you will discover five ideas to make the most of this area.

1. Place padded furniture in a group seating arrangement in the same style of your house decor. By doing so, your outdoor room will appear as an extension of your living room, kitchen, den or other room that you enter it from on the inside of the house. Your seating arrangement can include sofas, chairs, tables and even light fixtures.

2. Add a fire pit in the middle of this alfresco dining space to offer warmth and ambiance on a cold night. In addition, place seats near enough to the fire pit to enable guests to roast marshmallows if they so desire.

3. Install custom cabinetry complete with a grill, a sink, adequate storage and even a mini refrigerator. A setup such as this allows you to cook food outdoors while you visit with family members or visitors. Grills come in electric, gas, charcoal and a combination of fuelling methods depending upon your preferences. You can select a simple one or an elaborate one to fit your needs. Make sure to know your budget when it comes to this feature since the fancier the grill the higher its price tag is and this may be a deciding factor for you.

4. A dining set is another great addition to this dining area. Ensure that the entire set has a table and chairs that are out of weather-resistant materials to ensure it lasts through all types of weather.

5. An alfresco dining room can be completely open-air or it can contain a roof to enable you to use it rain or shine. A pergola provides moderate shade with openings to still enjoy the sky, but this design will not protect you from the rain. When you plan to use your alfresco dining space all throughout the year you may wish to install a solid roof design with a possible ceiling fan. Maybe you prefer a roof that opens and closes according to your needs, and this style provides the highest flexibility of all roof designs.
